I guess you could always count from the sidelines and bet only in advantage spots. Not very practical I suppose but card counting in general seems pretty implausible these days
One strategy I know of is to have multiple people. One person sits at the table and always bets low, the other always bets high but only sits down if the person at the table signals to them that the odds are good (They can be off doing other stuff while the low-better is doing the counting, so they're not just standing around waiting).
You're still right though, the odds aren't that great and once they get a hint you're doing something weird you'll get thrown out.
